    Death By Jazz

    Another saxophonist, this time it's the UK's own Don Rendell at 89. http://www.marlbank.net/news/3168-rip-don-rendell.html Pavane: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca8hqdeRyhE
  2. Just watching Cameron deliver sweet and sour pork balls at a news conference. United Kingdom now has its begging bowl out to the world, like a millionaire who lost all his money on the stock markets, the country is now and remains broke on the back of bankers (who remain protected in an unreformed and still de-regulated market). We have and engender closer links with countries like Saudi Arabia and China, and our own folk can be thrown on the scrapheap whilst rulers of other countries graciously visit our country and eat venison at the taxpayers expense. The hypocrisy continues as Cameron lauds the Northern Powerhouse with a train line that will come too late, as soon there will be little to no manufactured goods to send south. He welcomes the closeness of Chinese students ever more choosing to study in the UK, whilst all the while deporting them or requiring them to leave at the end of their study (and thus of no continuing benefit) just to keep his immigration numbers down. The mutual understanding we seem to have with China is that we can dispense with human rights, just like the Chinese. I could go on. It's come to THIS?

    By-Election Bingo

    I thought long and hard about Michael Meacher, but lack of health history and the fact he stood again made me disregard him. Rest well, sir.

    Grange Hill

    Ha ha, I've re-edited the original post (again), this time by using the link button to change the address without the 's'. Again, nothing happens. Must be a settings or browser issue with me. I would have thought a copy and paste, like Cat, would have sufficed. I'm baffled. Magere Hein can give me a week's worth of detention to fix it I'm sure. Edit: Just checked. When quoting my own post I still get no embed.

    Grange Hill

    Edited the original post and as you can see, that's all I get, no embed. Ach, what's the difference? It'll take you to a watch on YouTube anyway. If only I'd stuck in at school... Incidentally, my Honours dissertation was on data protection, when the proliferation of home computers and extended business use was relatively new. I hate not being able to do something which seems relatively straightforward for everyone else! *double period of sighing*

    Believe me charon, I have tried all the tips given on this site and still have never been able to get it to work. I'll need a pm with a step by step guide and if that still doesn't work, it must be something to do with my settings. Give me a freaking detention!

    Must say I was in a quandary to place this, but hey, we on this side of the pond would put him here.
